why can i use these as monitors?

[Rhys Llewellyn]

so...would the computer speakers color the sound?

Yes. Probably very much so.

Multimedia speakers tend to be rather bass heavy to make up for the often tiny drivers cased inside them.

Anything other than true flat response monitors will probably colour your sound.

Haha, I'm sorry I did not mean to derail this thread.
I hope what I said that was on topic helped
